I tried to start it this morning, the key goes ion and turns, but nothing happens (won't start). The "theft" light flashes.

Re: 2000 ford windstar anti theft light flashing vehicle...
This means that your key is not being recogonized.Ethier the chip in the key is bad or the patts transciever at the lock cylinder. Do you have a spare key? If not you will have to get 2 new keyss cut and programmed.

the two special SecuriLockyelectronically coded keys provided with
your vehicle.
and
Theft indicator
The theft indicator on the instrument cluster will operate as follows:
•When the ignition is OFF, the theft indicator will flash briefly every
two seconds to indicate the SecuriLockysystem is protecting your
vehicle.
•When the ignition is turned to RUN or START, the theft indicator will
light for three seconds and then go out. If the theft indicator stays on
for an extended period of time or flashes rapidly, have the system
serviced by your dealership or a qualified technician.
The Theft indicator is controlled by theSecuriLockysystem.During
the 30 second prearm state, it is normal to see the theft indicator pulse brighter behind the constant glow.
see the dash lamp do this ?
Your vehicle has two theft systems - content theft , if the door is opened without the key or keyless entry key fob the horn honks lights flash . PATS - passive anti-theft system ,this keeps the vehicle from starting if the computers don't see the right code from the transponder pellet in the head of the key .
You can turn off the content theft but not the PATS , when trying to start the vehicle does the theft light flash fast ? Red light on top of the dash .
What year is the vehicle ? engine size ? Is the anti-theft system light lit or flashing fast when trying to start ? The ford PATS - anti-theft system will disable starting system .
Ford's PATS anti-theft system disables the starter from spinning the engine . Flashing real fast while trying to start the vehicle means the vehicle see's wrong key code ,think's the vehicle is being stolen . Code's stored in the computer , FORD dealer , nothing you can or should do .
Anti-theft system can keep vehicle from starting , Alarm is for vehicle content theft , open door without key alarm sounds (horns) ! PATS - passive anti theft system PATS enables and disables the engine from starting ,it will not cause the engine to die ! You have some other kind of problem ! If the vehicle engine doesn't turn over an red light on top of dash flashes fast ,then you have anti-theft system problem !
PATS differs from the perimeter anti-theft system in that PATS enables and disables the engine from starting. If equipped, the perimeter anti-theft system protects the perimeter of the vehicle (doors, hood and trunk) and sounds an alarm.

you have problem with the anti theft sistem of the vehicle and you wont be able to start your vehicle with that key. you can try to start the vehicle with the other key but if the anti theft light is flashing fast with both keys you will have to send the car to the dealer for service
close the door and put the key in the door lock and unlock the door ... that should stop the anti theft and your van should start unless the battery is bad.
Refer to the owners manual for dis-arming procedure for the anti-theft, if you do not have the owners manual here is a link to Ford for a free PDF file of the owners manual.
